In February 2016, Informatica announced its release of the second version of Secure@Source, a unified platform for identifying, analyzing, and quantifying sensitive data risk. This ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES® (EMA™) Impact Brief details the announcement and recognizes Informatica’s innovation and leadership in the area of sensitive data risk and information security.

This report explores the challenges retailers face in harnessing data and analytics to better meet customer expectations across all interaction channels. It also provides an overview of the three core building blocks retailers must establish and nurture in order to maximize their performance through the effective use of data.

Information security practices are in the midst of a major transition. Why? Traditional security defenses are no match for internal and targeted attacks that circumvent security controls and steal sensitive data. Furthermore, IT infrastructure (and sensitive data) is extending inside and outside the perimeter; as organizations embrace cloud computing, mobility (i.e., mobile applications, remote/mobile employees, users, etc.), and big data analytics tools. To address modern threats and IT mobility, CISOs must adopt two new security perimeters around data­-centric security and identity.

Informatica’s Data Lake Management solution now provides industry-specific offerings and Nucleus expects that, for organizations that are drowning in a data lake, these new offerings will allow them to regain control.
